The Paininzass continent was discovered by some Christopher Pigeon. The latter, while getting off of his majestic ship (well, that's what the legend says, but in reality ...), stumbled over some rope, and established contact with the promised land by his cheeks (yes, the ones not on your face). So he, at once, shrieked : "Those ropes are such a pain in the ass!".

It is then that, inspired by divine insight (or by alcohol vapours, the only food not to spoil while on sea), Chris (to his close friends) decided to call the continent Paininziass.

He boarded back at once to go and tell the good news to his home continent, Tek. The journey seemed to never end, luckily there were some beer barrels left. So, Chris could see again the green shores of his mother country. He boarded down, or rather stumble on something that was laying around, and landed in a heap on the side and end ramp.

He finally stood up and heralded his magnificent discovery, but was betrayed by his beer-laden elocution. All he managed to yell: "Ah foun' a new con-, conti-, er, a new thingy and it's called Paininzass!" So, the continent was known by the name Paininzass. Well, was known, when someone decided to go and check that this New World wasn't just one of Pigeon's hallucination, who had become in the meantime the victim of numerous jeers, but was surviving quite well.

In fact, this name was predestined : the Paininzass continent has the shape of a coco fesse's seed. Somewhat.
